Convert ext2 to ext3 file system
Posted 07-13-2011 at 11:31 PM by blue_print
The conversion procedure is very simple enough. Let us assume /dev/sda6 (ext2 now) mounted on /convert. You will be seeing fstb entries like,
Unmount the partitionCode:/dev/sda6 /convert ext2 defaults 0 0
Enable Journal (converting to ext3) using tune2fs command,Code:umount /dev/sda6
Edit /etc/fstab and for /dev/sda6 change the file system type to ext3. Finally, the entry should be like this,Code:tune2fs -j /dev/sda6
Mount the partition using mount command,Code:/dev/sda6 /convert ext3 defaults 1 2
If above command doesn’t work, reboot the system and check.Code:mount -a
